BetOlimp Review

It’s not easy for a new face to enter a market which already has a wealth of competition, but overall BetOlimp has made a successful start to its operation in South Africa. The massive welcome bonus of up to R3,000 definitely captures our attention, yet it would be unfair to say that this is all BetOlimp has to offer.

Admittedly, there are a few weak areas such as no live streaming and no horse racing but for pure sports bettors - especially soccer punters - this site deserves a closer look. Take a peek for yourself: https://www.betolimp.co.za/en/ and see what you think.

Ultimately, as a punter, you want to choose a bookmaker that offers decent odds, so let’s have a look at how BetOlimp measures up compared to its rivals:

From this small sample, BetOlimp SA shows that it is competitive across a range of sports, so you won’t go far wrong on this front.

Like the majority of online bookmakers in South Africa, soccer betting is the pack leader in terms of coverage. BetOlimp doesn’t disappoint fans of this sport. It offers a vast choice of league and cup competitions from all corners of the globe. Naturally, all of the top European leagues and tournaments are covered but there’s plenty more besides, with action coming from Indonesia, Ukraine and China among many other places.

An area in which BetOlimp performs well is in market depth. For the big games such as Champions League, EPL, La Liga and so on, there is an abundance of betting markets covering everything from handicaps, totals and margins to teams to score, draw no bet and HT/FT correct score. Even fixtures that are not as high profile carry decent depth with the smallest games still offering around 30 markets. This is definitely above average, so if soccer betting is what you’re after, BetOlimp deserves a closer look.

Punters searching for something other than soccer, have plenty more options. BetOlimp is one of the select South Africa bookmakers to offer esports betting. It has markets for Dota 2, CS:GO, League of Legends and StarCraft in this niche. Ice hockey is another dominant sport with leagues from multiple countries like Russia, Sweden, the US and Germany. 

Premium American sports: NFL, NBA, and MLB are well supported, as is rugby with union, league and 7’s fixtures currently open for betting. Cricket, snooker, volleyball, tennis and handball each have a healthy number of matches available, too. The range of betting markets is fairly consistent throughout, giving punters a stack of options to choose from.

Customers are BetOlimp can enjoy live betting on a number of sports, including soccer, tennis, ice hockey, American football, basketball, baseball, cricket and esports among others. Overall, you’ll find a good variety of markets for the in-play action with most soccer games boasting 50+ such as next goal, handicaps, time of last goal and match totals.

The platform interface for live betting is a delight to use. On the desktop, the sports are listed down the left side, and they can be expanded to view individual fixtures. The main body of the screen displays a match animation console complete with in-game stats, then below that you have all of the available betting markets clearly highlighted. To get your rand in the game, just click on a price and it’ll be added to your bet slip where you type in the stake and hit ‘place bet’. The only drawback to BetOlimp’s live betting product is that it doesn’t offer any live streaming as yet. 

BetOlimp offers a smart, user-friendly betting platform which is perfect for new and experienced punters to load up and start betting within minutes. The design is clean with a header menu directing users to the main areas of the platform such a promotions, sports betting and lucky numbers. The index of sports runs down the left side which has a toggle button so you can flick between the pre-match and live betting markets in an instant. The main body of the page is generally filled with current live action and the right side is home to the bet slip, top BetOlimp promos and a list of trending events. 

The BetOlimp platform also has a useful statistics and live score section. This is packed with information regarding every sport that is available for betting and we highly recommend you to take advantage of it. You can look through the wealth of data and see what teams and players are in-form, check head-to-head records and view key betting markets such as O/U totals for football matches. 

BetOlimp doesn’t offer Betgames but punters can still play Lucky Numbers lotto games here. These are fixed-odds lottery games that are based on the balls drawn from a wide range of popular national lottery draws from South Africa and overseas.

There are plenty of different betting markets such as first ball to be drawn, odd/even, O/U totals, straight and combination to name a few. The highest payout is 100,000 to 1 which is for matching five numbers from the UK main draw.

Mobile customers can get straight into the action using the BetOlimp mobile site. It’s responsive so it should adjust automatically in accordance with your device when you load the site, but if doesn’t there is a button at the bottom of the homepage that allows you to flick from desktop to mobile view and vice versa. 

The BetOlimp mobile site wastes no time with a homepage. As soon as it loads, the featured action for the day is displayed. There is an expandable menu up in the corner that you can use to navigate to a different section when desired. It really is easy to use, and all the information is presented in a clean and professional manner. You are able to sign up direct from your mobile. Banking is safe and you can claim the BetOlimp welcome bonus of R3,000 when you make your first deposit.
